Best Answer

What they want to see is a steady income which exceeds your reasonable expenses so that you can reasonably afford your visit. This is much more important than the total amount and how long you had the money.

  • Where does the money come from? If it looks as if you had to borrow it, people will ask how you plan to repay that investment. If it was a gift, you have to explain that it was a gift and not a loan. Best if it is your income.
  • Are your earnings steady and predictable? That also helps to establish stable ties to your home and your intention to return.
  • How long did you have to save for the trip? Usually it is unreasonable to save several years for a brief vacation.
